Book Synopsis
Pulling the rug out from under debates about interpretation, this title joins together learning from law, linguistics, and cognitive science to illuminate the fundamental issues and problems in this highly contested area.

Trade Review
"A worthy successor to Solan's Language of Judges, which remains the best introduction to the value of linguistic analysis to statutory interpretation.... A must-read for any serious student of the debates about the rule of lenity, legislative intent, and the new textualism. A triumph of reason and learning." - William N. Eskridge Jr., Yale Law School"
